Your Data. Your Control.

No One Sees Your Numbers but You

CarnivalX runs entirely offline when you need it to. Your financial data never leaves your control — deploy on-prem or in a private cloud. Either way, it's yours.

100% Offline / On-Prem

No internet required. No cloud dependency.

  • All data stored locally on your devices — IndexedDB + local database
  • Settlements, PDF generation, and inspections work without any connection
  • Sync when you choose to — on your schedule, on your terms
  • No third-party ever touches your financial data

Private Cloud

Multi-tenant isolation with enterprise-grade security.

  • Row-level security — operators can never see each other's data
  • AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Field-level encryption for PII (SSNs, bank info, tax IDs)
  • Immutable audit trail — every transaction logged, nothing deleted
